The Verdict : I think Snake is very good, but not great. I feel Sideshow missed the mark on a perfect likeness of Kurt Russell. The figure and accessories feel fragile. Sideshow isn't quite at the level of Hot Toys, but this is a good effort. This figure is only recommended to the diehard Escape From New York fan.
